IMPROVEMENT IN CHURN-DASHBRS.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and mnkingpnrt of the szrm.

To all whom it muy concern:

lie it known that lf, Mums Flsi", of Adrian, in the county' ot' Lenawee, and State ot' Michigan, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Churns; and I do herelyy declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description thereof', reference being had to the accompanying drawing, forming part of this specification.

My invention relates to an improvement in churns, and has for its object to produce a dashcr which shall, by one simple movement, throw the cream iu dierent directions, the current produced by one set of radial wings heilig brought in contact with the one next above," and so on successively.

I select four blocks, of suitable material and dimensions, which, when prepared and adixed to the dasherrod, will form eight radii or wings, arranged about it as a centre.

Each of these blocks is drawn at its end to the form of an acute-angled wedge, but the planes of the wedges on the opposite ends are at right angles to each other, as shown at A and B.

The space C, included between the has'e of the wedge and the point where it is fastened to the plunger, is recessed and inclined toward the centre, and so as to form another flat surface at a right angle to the plane 'of the irst.

Each flange whose centre is attached to the plunger, thus .consists of four separate paddlesV or strikers, each one at right angles to its alternate, and one pair acting at a greater radial distance from the centre of niotion than the other.

All Athe four pieces, having been shaped in the same manner, they are perforated in the middle, and arranged one above, in' close juxtaposition upon thc plunger, cach adjoining pair ot' wings enclosing the' same angle. They are then firmly retained in place by means of a screw-nut upon the plunger or dasherrod.

A dasher thus constructed is preferably used with a simple up-and-down movement, but is well adapted, as may readily be seen, for a rotary or vibratory motion. It performs the same functions, by a single movement, that are performed by a double dasher, or one, each of whose parts moves in an opposite direction.

IThis conflicting` action has not hitherto been obtained at all in dashers which Vhave a reciprocating motion, and not in those which rotate, except by a double rotation, which necessitates machinery that is cumbersome in a domestic article, and, moreover, at teudedwith a considerable additional expense.

Having fully described my improved flasher, and the great superiority which it possesses over any now in public use,

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The improved dasher above described, its radial wings beingr shaped and ,arranged with respect to each other in tlnl manner specified.
